Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There's plenty of fun to be had at this home in Scottsdale. Packed with activities like a heated pool, hot tub, and putting green, you'll never have a dull moment here. The interiors are bright, breezy and contemporary, while the garden is the definition of sun-kissed. Don't want to miss a workout? The main bedroom has a Peloton bike, and outside, you'll find yoga mats ideal for morning asana. Or you can spend the afternoon playing foosball, ping-pong, and Pacman in the two different game rooms – just note that the one in the garage doesn't have air conditioning. Last but not least, the location is ideal for exploring, though you'll definitely need a car.
